A new preliminary study at the American Academy of Neurology’s 76th Annual Meeting in Denver showed a positive association between sleep apnea and cognitive decline
How To: Transverse Cordotomy with Thyroarytenoid Myectomy for Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility
Currently, Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility (BVCP) is often treated by transoral CO2 laser-assisted transverse cordotomy. Still, this procedure can lead to subsequent scarring at the wound bed, resulting in re-narrowing of the airway and poor voice. Transverse cordotomy with thyroarytenoid myectomy may promote faster healing and may limit scarring and restenosis.
How To: The Cochlear Implant “Seatbelt” Technique for Receiver/Stimulator Fixation
In this study, we describe a time-saving modification of a bony-bed technique that utilizes screw-fixated Mersilene cervical cerclage suture, originally designed for treatment of uterine cervical insufficiency, as a simple, quick, and effective method for tie-down receiver/stimulator fixation.
How To: Posterior Septal Artery Flap for Endoscopic Repair of Large Nasal Septal Perforation
Posterior septal artery flap for endoscopic repair of large nasal septal perforation aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the endoscopic repair of large SPS utilizing flap pedicled with branches of PSA.
Eustachian Tube Resection in Expanded Endonasal Transpterygoid Approach Can Cause Dysfunction
Eustachian tube (ET) resection during EETA can lead to ET dysfunction and require myringotomy postoperatively.
Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block Safe, Effective for Treatment of Neurogenic Cough
Superior laryngeal nerve block is a safe and effective treatment of neurogenic cough, according to a recent study by the department of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, S.C.
Adenotonsillectomy: Watching/Waiting Comparable to Watchful Waiting for Children with Mild Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Early adenotonsillectomy compared with watchful waiting and supportive care in children with mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) did not significantly improve executive function or attention at 12 months.
Concurrent Septorhinoplasty and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Comparable to Sole Surgeries in Patient Satisfaction
Disease-specific quality of life (QoL) is improved with septorhinoplasty (SRPL), functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and combined surgery, and combining the procedures does not compromise QoL gain.
Identifying and Managing Sensing Lead Malfunction in Upper Airway Stimulation Devices
Identifying and managing sensing lead malfunction in upper airway stimulation devices using the Inspire Medical Systems’ upper airway stimulation (UAS) device to treat patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to necessitate revision surgery.
Definitive Resection for Occult Invasive Disease Recommended for Oral Cavity Carcinoma in Situ
Rates and clinical outcomes support the practice of definitive resection for occult invasive disease if feasible following a biopsy that demonstrates oral cavity cis.
